Montana Ghost Town

June 26, 2015:  We stopped at a campground just off the highway for a one night stay just outside of Missoula, Montana.  The new owners had been renovating for two years.  It was an extremely hot day.  After settling into our campsite, we decided to explore.  We drove the Jeep to a nearby ghost town.

                                                 Driving across Montana.
            The road going into the ghost town of Garnet was a rough, one lane road.
